Update

We've bought our first tickets (SD@NYY, 6/19), but we've also had our first cancellation. Unfortunately, because we're going during interleague play, a lot of these games are in demand. And the Phillies decided that, rather than selling tickets to their Red Sox series first come, first serve, they're raffling off the chance to buy them in a drawing in a few weeks. It's not even a weekend series, but they've deemed it important enough to do this whole raffle thing. So, unless we find some good deal on eBay, or we get something out of this raffle, or we get some substantial funding, we're not going to the Red Sox @ Phillies game on the 18th. But, I suppose it'll be good to have a break, and we can spend some extra time in Baltimore or NYC. Also, we'll divert those funds earmarked for the Phillies game towards buying tickets for Fenway, which are also going to be more difficult to get than originally hoped.

Look for more updates from my brothers regarding previews of the stadiums we'll be visiting.

Eric/Kyle/Jason:

Through some connections, we have managed to get 10 tickets together for the Tigers vs. Dodgers game. That's enough for Grandpa & Grandma, you three, and my whole family. We'll want to arrive early, as they'll be great seats. Any idea what your plans will be for driving from St. Louis to Detroit yet?
